    Description of Finance in a Nutshell

    Many executives have long forgotten key financial concepts. Many others never learned them properly. Most of them have neither the time nor the motivation to dig into two or three 500-page books. This book is a portable financial toolkit, solves all three problems in 30 short and easy-to-read chapters full of real-world examples.
